To a middling BigXII team like Oklahoma State. The signature win of 2014 has diminished a little.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M's signature win, South Carolina, hasn't lost since and has defeated a very strong East Carolina and UGA.

Remember this tidbit when 5:30 pm CT rolls around on Saturday and A&M wins by 17.

All voters will see is oklahoma state was ranked and Arkansas beat them worse. There is no way for it to hurt Arkansas. It will not matter anyways because whatever happens in the Arkansas vs A&M game will matter most.

Eh, I don't think so. Cowboys played fsu tough and are ranked. I don't think you can extrapolate anything that happened in tech's road loss tonight to reflect poorly on Arkansas whipping them.

That said, I think we handle Arky.

No other games matter for West teams.

There is no debate that the West is BY FAR the best division in sports and all 7 West teams have to play through it.

Every West team holds their own destiny and those game are FINALLY about to hit full force.

I iz excited

The only thing Arkansas needs to do is win their games. They have no control over what their opponents win and loss record is. If they want to be a factor in the west then they have to win their conference matchups. They are 0-1 in the SEC and that's the only thing that matters. If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man. Miss. State proved that they don't want to be SEC West bottom feeders this year by beating LSU, Arkansas has to do the same.

Because they were West co-champs in 2003. They know it is a gauntlet.

As far as Texas Tech is concerned, they covered the spread vs Okie Lite, so not sure how that diminishes the Value of T Tech.

Last night proves more that OSU is probably not as good as that team that gave Florida state a run. Everyone knows Tech is just terrible. They have already proven themselves to be on par with central Arkansas and UTEP.

that win already meant nothing about Arkansas.

The main question is can A&M stop the run.

Is beating an ex big 12 team from Texas ever a big deal?

Texas Tech was awful...what a shitehouse special teams show...haven't seen worse in yrs. They put Tech in bad field position...or gave away scores several times...botched punter snaps and return guy bringing ball out of end zone to end up putting in the shadow of their goalposts. Enough flags throw for four games. Kingsbury has some learning to do about his asst coaches and getting some in depth development.

If only A&M played an OOC opponent half as good as Texas Tech.

They are slowly realizing they may very well be the worst team in it. With a team that would be top 25 at the end
Of most years.

So Texas Tech going on the road to top-25 ranked Okie Lite and playing them to a 10 point game despite losing their starting QB to injury means that Arkansas' destruction of Texas Tech in Lubbock is diminished?

Is this backwards day or are you just a really bad at this whole trolling thing?

That gave Florida State a scare on opening weekend. Plus it was playing with a backup QB last night.

It's possible that Baylor, OU, and Oklahoma State could end up in a three-way tie for the Big 12's "One True Champion".

Our OOC schedule was bad this year. Can't really defend it.

Will be better next year and for years to come.
